I could live with a Lighthope in figure form as an exclusive provided he done is a really cool way - like He-Ro was. Lighthope as a warrior or god like being appeals more to me than a Lighthope who is a cylinder of light. I wonder if that was who the mask was for - the one which was "teased" at NYCC.

Maybe I'm in the minority but the 200X characters are my least liked faction. None of the characters designs appeal to me. Didn't care for Carnivus, Faceless One, Marzo, Dekker etc. I like them but they just seem so bland compared to the other characters. I want to see some more Na, Pop, and Filmation ranks filled before we get anymore 200X. I know many will disagree, but they just don't excite me as much.

I don't think you are in the minority. Or, at least I am part of the same minority . I like all of the characters but they are a bit bland compared to other factions in my opinoin.

As for Light Hope....I think the character has potential as a figure. I'd be very interested in how he was manifested into a "human" form.

Light Spinner...never thought about that. Could be a way to get an alternate Shadow Weaver out there and available to those who didn't buy the sub last year and don't want to pay ridiculous prices to obtain one.

I'm still hoping that Rokkon and Stonedar (with Granita would be the best!) is the exclusive, or at least one of them. Madame Razz with several small characters would be my second hope. Despara I would rather have used as a sub exclusive figure.

There's been so many ideas thrown out....I wish we would just find out already!

Could not disagree more about 200X. Their designs are infinitely more detailed than Filmation stuff.

Just because something has more detail, doesn't necessarily mean it's better.

The last figure we got was Dekker and he was not exactly the most exciting character to get plastic representation. I understand what you are saying though, let's just hope we get both versions down the line

There is still Lord Dactys, Calix, Prahvus, Veena, Battle Lion, Queen Andreenos, and the Kulatak. Not to mention Snake Armor He-Man.

But, it's not a cape, it's a full body cloak. Exactly like Shadow Weaver. Putting a plastic removable cloak over the standard size buck WILL look bad. Imagine how Shadow Weaver would have looked if they used the standard female buck and put a red plastic cloak over it?

Light Spinner would be awesome! It would go well with Castaspella coming out in August, too. Now, would it be too much to ask for a Norwyn figure too?

Oh for sure! I am really looking forward to SA He-Man, Calix, Prahvus and Dactys in particular. I am just worried that 200x might get somewhat left behind in the shuffle of the next two years where they concentrate on vintage figures and high demand figures. The Filmation sub may continue after all, but 200X seems to get about 1 figure per year which means if the line does end in 2015 then we will not see all those you mentioned sadly.

I do have high hopes for 2016 having a few more of them, but I figure by then that the line will be on some seriously thin ice when it comes to production costs and demand

Still, I am pretty much a "buy everything" kinda guy so I will probably be pleased with the rest of the year regardless what we see.

I don't think I can take it any longer. Someone put me out of my misery and post some pics already!

Ha! Right there with you. I really hope its something cool. I'm in the minority and like Vykron, but I wasn't excited about him. Whatever's coming for the SDCC exclusive, I'm excited for, because of the sheer number of possibilities!

Hopefully today is the day we find out (given that its the last Friday of the month).

I think the reveals might begin today (or Monday), but I wouldn't count on the MOTUC reveal to be the first SDCC reveal.
TG said that they were be spacing the reveals out, so I'm sure they won't start with their heavy hitter items.

You'd really think they'd get on with it already. Reveals today could lead to a weekend of sub sales in anticipation of Early Access for the SDCC items.

Agreed, Early Access is one of the better perks of having a sub. Being able to push the SDCC exclusives through EA could very well bump up sub sales, if people knew the exclusive before the deadline. Having the weekend to let word of mouth build would be a good idea...

Unless the exclusives are really bad, in which case the word of mouth would do more harm than good. Maybe Mattel does know what they're doing this time (except for the sucky exclusive part)!

I would think that due to the lead time in developing a figure, this figure was already being planned prior to the sub sale for 2013. Therefore, he would be planned before the do or die road map we are dealing with for 2014 and some wackiness may still be involved for this choice.
